Apparent Hunter S. Thompson suicide note published by Rolling Stone
The brief message, scrawled in black marker and titled ”Football Season Is Over” (an apparent reference to the end of the NFL season he avidly followed as fan), reads as follows:
“No More Games. No More bombs. No More Walking. No More Fun. No More Swimming. 67. That is 17 years past 50. 17 more than I needed or wanted. Boring. I am always bitchy. No Fun –for anybody. 67. You are getting Greedy. Act your old age. Relax — This won’t hurt.”
Gonzo journalist and political genius Dr. H. S. Thompson killed himself last February.

i know how he felt/feels… i’m past my freshness date… not much longer till i rot.
Hunter was a man who discovered something more valuable than gold or diamonds; he found a way to recognize his surroundings as beings and shapes. Hunter evolved the journalstic gonzo style to the point where only he could capture its true essence.
